Tegan and Sara Album, Tour

Indie songbirds and twin sisters Tegan and Sara generated excitement amongst fans by releasing the cover art and track list for their new album, Sainthood. The album, due out October 27, is the follow-up to 2007’s critically acclaimed The Con.

The Canadian duo also announced the first three dates of their U.S. fall tour, which kicks off October 25 in L.A. The two other shows announced will take place in New York. Here’s hoping they announce more dates soon – and bring the tour to ATL or ATH.

Sainthood features 13 tracks, with titles such as “The Cure,” “Alligator” and “Sentimental Tune.”

For an extra dose of Tegan and Sara, check out steroegum.com and listen to their collaboration with DJ Tiesto. Their vocals are featured on Tiesto’s new album, Kaleidoscope, on the track “Feel It In My Bones.” T & S will also be featured in the video, which involves dancing and lazerish lights – cool.
